<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Vince Carter with a chance to close out a playoff series in the same arena where he burst onto the NBA star stage?
Undoubtedly a delicious prospect to Carter and his New Jersey teammates, but not something Nets coach Lawrence Frank wants to talk about.
Frank took exception to a suggestion yesterday that Carter wanted a chance to face the Raptors in the playoffs more than anything else.
"The bottom line was he just wanted the best possible seed," Frank told reporters in New Jersey yesterday. "Now is there irony to it? When you're in this league long enough, you're going to have some sort of connection with many different teams."
"So Vince has a lot of respect for the organization, for Toronto. It meant a great deal to start his career there, yet at the same time he, like all of us, is going to do everything we can to try to win the game."</div>
